I will be getting a new phone in the fall. The Razr is getting slow.
The Moto X phone seems as if it will be a mid-range phone.
I am thinking Note 3, Moto Ultra, or the Sony Z. Basically whichever has the Snapdragon 800 CPU._________________"Fuckin' Amesome" --- Joe Flacco

All the leaks claim the X will be a mid level phone. 720p and slower quad core. The only way $500m in marketing would pay off is if it is $99 on contract or $199 - 249 off contract._________________"Fuckin' Amesome" --- Joe Flacco

My HTC One showed up today. I'm loving it so far. The build quality is amazing._________________"What cheers me up? Um... I suppose mainly gloating over the misfortunes of other people.

The FBI develops some hacking tools internally and purchases others from the private sector. With such technology, the bureau can remotely activate the microphones in phones running Google Inc.'s Android software to record conversations, one former U.S. official said. It can do the same to microphones in laptops without the user knowing, the person said. Google declined to comment.

In happier news, 4.3 is rolling for the HTC One and GS4 Google Play editions. I'm just waiting for it to roll out to me._________________"What cheers me up? Um...

The new LG G2 phone looks like it will have the best 'specs' for phones this fall.
2.3GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 but another spec not is overlook is the Adreno 330 GPU vs the 320 found on the S4, One and Moto X.

My One never stutters. I think the spec war is not nearly as important as it was even last year. Finding ways to improve battery life without negatively impacting performance is the most important thing to me. It will be interesting to find out exactly how efficient Motorola's new chip set is._________________"What cheers me up? Um... I suppose mainly gloating over the misfortunes of other people.

I got my original Razr to benchmark at 9,400 in Antutu.
I used the carbon rom and modded kernel from xda-dev plus put it in airplane mode.
The rom I used before got only 8,000._________________"Fuckin' Amesome" --- Joe Flacco

Hardware has come a long way. My One running stock 4.3 gets 24000._________________"What cheers me up? Um... I suppose mainly gloating over the misfortunes of other people. I guess that has to be it.

There's no way they will reach their goal. I strongly recommend the HTC One if you're concerned with physical build. From what I have read it is easy to take a carrier specific model and turn it into a Google Play Edition. Given the current OS I really don't see how a jump from the Snapdragon 600 to the Snapdragon 800 would make a noticeable difference. If a removable battery and a 5 inch screen are important, go for the GS4. It's just as easy to convert to GPE if you want that._________________"What cheers me up? Um...

Crowdfunding platform Indiegogo announced on Friday that the site's Ubuntu Edge campaign has set the record as the largest crowdfunding project ever — more than 24,000 donors have offered up nearly $11.5 million in funding as of Monday morning. The Ubuntu Edge project surpassed the industry's previous record holder, the Pebble Watch campaign facilitated by Kickstarter, which ended last May with close to $10.3 million in funding._________________"Fuckin' Amesome" --- Joe Flacco

I was leaning toward the HTC, but figured you guys may have heard of something killer coming out that I hadn't. All the reviews seem to say that the One is cool except the weird feed aggregator you can't turn off, and the S4 is cool but kinda all over the place on features, in a quantity not quality kind of way._________________A west bean pays the fish a soup.
